Protein Packed Falafels

The perfect protein packed lunch to keep you fueled ALL afternoon 🙌🏻⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ These falafel have been on rotation in my house lately because they are so easy and are packed with flavor and protein!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I always have clients ask for high protein lunches that are healthy, NOT boring and can keep them feeling balanced and energized as they continue their day! (Fun fact, a balanced and nutrient dense lunch can actually boost your energy so you don’t need that 2nd or 3rd cup of coffee!)⁣⁣ Note: the traditional way is to used soaked chickpeas- I find this too time consuming so use canned.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Place all of your ingredients for the falafel, except for the baking powder & avocado oil into your high powered blender or food processor and blend!⁣⁣

Step 2

Transfer to a bowl and place in fridge for 30 min to chill (this makes it easier to form into balls and have it stick)⁣⁣

Step 3

Once chilled remove from fridge, add baking soda and mix⁣⁣

Step 4

Form into balls using your hands and place on an oiled baking sheet, flatten with a spoon and bake for 15 min at 425. After 15 min flip and bake for 15 more min⁣⁣

Step 5

Serve on your favorite flatbread with chopped tomatoes, cucumber, cabbage if you have it, tzatziki and Trader Joe’s vegan dill dressing! ⁣⁣
